Whether it’s cushioning the china in newspaper, bearing the weight of heavy boxes or figuring out what to do with the furniture, nobody likes to move.[…]
Springtime is here, and that means bass fishing breaks out across the state as fish move to the shallows to spawn.[…]
He called it “venture fishing.” I called it a few choice words I can’t write here. But before me lay an extremely, thick tangle of small, long branches sticking atop the water from a submerged, major artery of a tree.[…]
Louisiana is blessed in all things that come from the water. Its reputation as a seafood-producing and consuming state is unequaled.[…]
After picking up the third speckled trout in a row on a spinnerbait, I looked at Ken Chaumont and said, “This ain’t coincidence anymore.”[…]
The call to Doc Fontaine seemed perfunctory, a mere formality — almost pointless. After all, traditionally, mooching a Grand Isle camp for a weekend in February ain’t too hard.[…]
